CHAKALI MISSION
Greetings from Joshua, church planter committed to serve among the Chakali People Group. I thank God for His goodness and mercy towards me and His lovingkindness towards the Chakali communities.

John Kpormegbe
Good day to every one of you in the name of the Lord. Despite sicknesses and accidents, God has been so good that no death has been recorded. Regardless of COVID-19, God in His special way has helped and is still helping me and my family through Plainfield Christian Church, Pastor Riley, and Pastor Enoch. We are most grateful, and God bless you all. Heavy downpours of rain are what we are experiencing these days. However, this could not stop us from sharing the Good News with the unreached and lost souls. For this reason, join me in thanking God and pray for six newly baptized and accepted Children of the Most High God, who were baptized just last week Saturday and were added to the family of God. I humbly ask that you should put them on your prayer list so that teaching and growing will be more effective. Thank you all for your concern.
Bismark Kassatta
Praise be to God for watching over us throughout the month.
By His grace, I was able to visit the eight churches under my leadership. The grace of God has been sufficient over their lives, and all the members are very strong in the Lord, except for one of them that has passed away (sister Cate Amevor, 55). May her soul rest in peace.
Even though COVID-19 came and disorganized the church, God has started to move in a different direction to get His people organized; thus, church activities have returned to normal.
Prayer request: I humbly request you to be in support of our sister Cate Amevor’s family for that great loss.
Pray also for brother Noah Azuma, one of my disciples, who is starting a church. I need your prayer for my family, that they will perform a miracle as far as finances are concerned. I wish all our brothers and sisters who support us both physically and spiritually God's blessings beyond measure. Amen.
John Newman
God has been good to us that there has been no problem in my family. We are all safe and peaceful. We thank God that the churches are growing.
There had been a misunderstanding between the two elders at Tutukpene, but with the help of God and pastors Sampson, Bismarck, and myself, the problem has been resolved. On that Sunday, Blackie Junction Church had a joint service with the Tutukpene branch.

Prince Yevu
To God be the glory; great things He has done, for His kindness is from generation to generation! I thank God Almighty for my family. The Lord is our supplier and our provider. In Him we put our trust.
The church cannot be left out. I thank God for the church, for how far He has brought us. His grace is more sufficient for us. The church is still facing a big challenge; this is lack of place of worship. Currently, it meets only in my small house. This has reduced attendance from 18 to six each week as the place is not comfortable.
We have currently located a piece of land, which will serve us well. It is located at an advantageous place. The owner is ready to sell it at 5,000 cedis (about $1,000). Please pray for us in this area, that the Lord touch someone to assist us in acquiring this land.

Member Care/Communications Coordinator’s Report
The month of September was a tough one. It started with the news of Francis Addae’s wife’s surgery, which was later identified as being cancerous, and the coronavirus infection of Kyle in the USA. We were also faced with heavy rainstorms that affected the farms of several church members’ farm and cut off some communities.
Because we serve a BIG God, the problems no matter how huge they may seem are also small before the Omnipotent. Through organized prayers, we are happy to report that Kyle and his father of Compassion Christian Church have fully recovered from the coronavirus infections. Mary Addae has undergone a first surgery successfully. However, she has to get a second surgery to remove the remaining lump before she can continue with further treatment to take care of the cancer. Please continue to remember her in your prayers. We must also continue to pray for the wives of all our church planters. They faithfully support their spouses mostly behind the scenes, in prayer and as helpers.
September also came with a lot of rain, which has destroyed several farms. Several members of the church have reported the flooding of the farmlands, the crops, and plants. This is a huge loss to these people, as it affects their financial stability and food security.
The rains have also cut off several communities. Currently, they are unable to access other communities, which means they can’t easily and safely access health care, markets, and other places until the water level reduces.
Please pray for these communities and farmers, that the Lord will make a way.
